They're honored to be working with him, Elton has gone above and beyond to support new generation artists unlike certain artists who try to bring them down.

Theyāre incredibly close, talk on the phone every day, and have been close friends for years, Eltonās definitely not just working with Ed because heās a trendy artist.

Elton has spent the last like 20 years of his career being a mentor to one artist after another. It's not about relevancy really...it clearly is about just having fun now.Ā He is so old now (and I mean this lovingly)Ā that it is absurd to imagine he still genuinely chasing hits. I think he just really likes the music these younger artists are making and wants to be a part of that experience before he kicks the can.Ā Also when you get older you sort of have this urge to want to leave a mark on as many ppl as possible before you go. I think Elton has been in that mode especially so these past few years. He really wants to connect with as many young artists as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His unprovoked tantrums and diva-like behaviour is well documented, and he has been unnecessarily mean and nasty toĀ both young and more established artists multiple times. And I do honestly think there's a double standard between male and female artists collaborating with younger artists, with male always framed as a mentor relationship, while female artists are accused of beingĀ trend-chasers.

What I think is so amazing about this is the confidence boost it can give these young artists. Iāve heard Ed and othersĀ talk about how every week EltonĀ listens to every single new release and he calls up the ones he loves and congratulates them. As an up and coming artist, imagine how it must feel to have a legend like him call you and say he loves your music. Itās also great to see him working with all these artists because it clearly makes him so happy. He always says how he sees his younger selfĀ in these youngĀ artists, so I bet it keeps him energized to work with them.Ā I know there arenāt many Ed fans on this site, but theyāre clearly both so happy working together and that makes me so happy for them bothĀ See The Best In Everyone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā Ā First of all, thank you for disagreeing respectfully, itās so easy to be rude on sitesĀ like this so I appreciate you respectfully sharing your opinion. And I get what you mean about the double standard, I just personally think instead of saying Elton is chasing trends, we should just stopĀ labeling these female artists as trend-chasers. Elton truly has mentored many youngĀ artists, and Ed is just one of the most prominent examples of this. There are so many different examples of this, in fact there are songs on Edās albums that only made the final cut because of Eltonās advice. Heās learned a lot in 50 years and passes on knowledge and adviceĀ whenever he can. It would make me sad if a female artist did this same thing and was viewed as a trend-chaser instead of being praised for embracing a young generation of talent so fully and whole-heartedly.
